Mike's Blog Round Up
June 30, 2016

With the "Brexit" vote, I was all ready to admit that maybe the old stereotype of the British being more intelligent than the Americans was dead (if it was ever true in any way to begin with), but then I read this in an article in the Times today on a new Quinnipiac poll:

"Voters view Mr. Trump as being stronger on the economy and better suited to handle terrorism, while Mrs. Clinton is seen as more trusted by voters on immigration and handling international crises. Mrs. Clinton also gets higher marks when it comes to being prepared to be president and for her intelligence, but Mr. Trump beats her on leadership and honesty."

Okay, sure, Quinnipiac is likely an outlier, as other recent polls show Hillary well ahead, and trending in the right direction, but still, WTF? Yes, WTF, America? Please explain yourselves.

(BTW… Happy Canada Day Eve!)

Booman Tribune: Trump is hugely unpopular with "the blacks."

Echidne of the Snakes: Abortion opponents lie about the scientific evidence.

Just an Earth-Bound Misfit, I: Brexiters have to face up to their lies and hype.

And for a truly moving, must-watch video:
